v1.c7.29

It is a fairly common sight to find a large collection of *śalagrāmas* in many important temples, in monasteries called *mathas* and even in certain old households. They are worshipped by Vaiṣṇavas and also by persons of the Vaidik Śaiva persuasion; but the Āgamic Śaivas and the Vīra-Śaivas do not worship them.
